Chapter 37 - How Dare She Say That To My Face?
"If you think that you can win the contract easily as you have always won those small contracts, then as your elder sister I would ask you to wake up from your fantasy because getting the contract with your strength alone is impossible," Elizabeth advised sternly. If Jasmine did not know her sister's attitude she would have mistaken her words for that of concern. She knows that her ever perfect elder sister was mocking her.
"It's not too late to ask dad for his forgiveness. I am certain he will let bygone be bygones if you accept your mistake so I will advise you to stop this nonsense you are doing because you will never win against dad," Elizabeth said fiercely. Jasmine just stood there and watch her talk. She was certain that if she said what was on her mind, her sister wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of her words.
"Dad knew you stood no chance of winning that is why he gave you this impossible mission, don't you know that?" Elizabeth asked raising her gaze to stare at Jasmine. She was disappointed when she saw Jasmine's indifferent expression. Elizabeth's expression shows that this is not the reaction she expected from Jasmine.
"But I won this same contract you and dad think it is impossible to win within just two days. It's just unfortunate that someone stole it from me but don't worry I will throw the contract at your face when I retrieve it back," these are the words Jasmine wanted to say to her pompous sister but she held back.
"What will you give me if I succeed in winning it?" Jasmine asked firmly.
"This is not the time to act prideful...,"
"Just say what you will give me as a reward," Jasmine interrupted her sharply.
"Will you give me your beloved husband as a reward? I just need him for just a night," Jasmine said nonchalantly to the dismay of Elizabeth.
"What did you just say?" Elizabeth asked her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.
"Relax, I am just kidding," Jasmine said after about a minute of hesitation.
"I need to go now, Sis," Jasmine said as she walked to her car which was just beside Elizabeth's car. Her driver zoomed off leaving the dumbstruck Elizabeth alone.
"Did that brat just said I should give her my husband? How dare she say that to my face?" Elizabeth said fuming.
If not for the fact that mother asked me to persuade her to listen to father I wouldn't have acted so nice earlier. She dared to use my kindness against me. Who the hell does she think she is that she can leisurely ask me to give her my husband?
Elizabeth thought hitting her hand against the white car.
I have told Alfred to stay away from that little demoness called my sister but he won't listen now look at what he had caused.
Elizabeth thought as she forcefully opened the door of the car and entered the car. Her driver immediately drove off after she was comfortably seated in the car.
"Serves her right for getting on my nerves. After what I said, next time she will carefully consider it before she dares talk down to me," Jasmine said grinning evilly. She continues smiling for about two minutes.
Since office hours were already over, Jasmine asked her driver to drive her home.
After she freshens up and changes into her pyjamas, Jasmine went to her study room. Walking into the study whose both sides were occupied with shelves, the first thing that caught her eyes were all the awards neatly arranged on the second and third row of the shelf of the right-hand side.
Just within the space of five years, she established J & S Innovation she has won over thirty awards. These awards were evidence of her blood and sweat. She has overcome so many hurdles to reach the peak that she is in right now which is why she will never give up on her company without putting on a strong fight. Even though not for herself but for the sake of about 200 workers who believed in her capabilities.
"If I was able to go this far within just five years, this shows how awesome of a person that I am so I believe I can do this. I won't ever let my anger make me forget the reason I embarked on this mission. For the sake of all my employees I will get the contract back," Jasmine said after she had a closer view of all the awards. The awards perform the magic of getting her back on the right track.
She went back to her bedroom after she was done with why she came to the study.
She went to bed feeling so motivated.
The next day Jasmine performed her normal routine and afterwards went to the office without having breakfast as usual.
When it was almost lunchtime, Jasmine called Catherine into her office.
"Catherine, ask your friend working in Smith's International to give you the Ice Price schedule for today," Jasmine informed. Catherine stares at her boss wearing a yellow suit and white underwear underneath the suit. She could notice some change in her but she could not pinpoint what it was.
"Boss, she is afraid of being caught as a spy...,"
